Why is iPhoto so lame about moving its folders by hand to another hard drive?

When is finder going to have a GUI bulk-rename function? (Applescript doesn't count!)

You can always just have the library live on the external

It's been no end of angst when my wife tries to move photos out of the library, or manipulate the library by hand, on disk. There appear to be tricks to get iPhoto to recognize a new location for its library, but they feel cheesey - there should be a simpler interface for such operations. For me, it's a case of Apple taking a great product almost to the right place, but stopping just shy of the mark. They don't think through a large enough number of use cases.

According to Mossberg in the Wall Street Journal, there are issues with VM under Snow Leopard. None that I know of with Parallels Desktop.

Don't forget virtualbox. It's come a long way and it's free.

Oh that's not tough, just move the library to the external, then option click the iPhoto icon and specify the library on the external. From then on out iPhoto will only use that library. You can use the same methodology for most apps, like iTunes or iMovie. I love having my data on an external device or server.
